e Christian owners of a bakery have won an appeal at the UK's highest court over a finding that they discriminated against a customer by refusing to make a cake decorated with the words "Support Gay Marriage".

Five Supreme Court justices allowed a challenge by the McArthur family in a unanimous ruling in London on Wednesday in what has become widely known as the "gay cake case".

The legal action was originally brought against family-run Ashers bakery in Belfast by gay rights activist Gareth Lee, who won his case initially in the county court and then at the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal.

Update: Sesame Workshop have since responded to the writer's comments saying Bert and Ernie are 'best friends'.

Sesame Street had released a statement in which it referred to Bert and Ernie as “best friends” that were “created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves,”

Sesame Workshop reiterated its previous stance on Twitter, adding: "Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics, they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation."

Lol, so they are trying to say the writer is wrong

ha ha ha ha

He is their writer and has the final say

They are as gay as they come Tommy

No doubt you dry humped them many times growing up, when not watching gay porn to satisfy yourself.

Lol they never created the characters, the writer did and what he says goes

Its like trying to say Thor is not the son of Odin, in Marval comics

You see Tommy, this is why you always clutch at straws

It does not matter what the industry says, but what the creater says

He has ownership on the characters

Now there is nothing wrong with bum time, or more in your case, fluff time with puppets.
